Bruery RS/HS Allocations (2019)

Only an issue for the addicts among us.

 

Thanks for such a descriptive answer.

 

Looks like Terreux is getting on the low-calorie train:

I went to where the drop off location was, they had banners and a sign. There was a lady there with 2 full bags of patches.

 

That was a fucking fun party. 90+ pours and didn’t die. Had everything I wanted to, and then some. Superstition made for a great palate cleanser, lol. Skipped food but liked that I could have eaten at anytime without any real wait (from what I observed). Got to see many familiar faces again. No real complaints. Missed fancy ‘hoarders exclusives’, but really enjoyed the more open layout. Perfect 5 out of 7.

 

How do you even fit in 90 pours within the time frame? Are you sure you aren’t dead?

 

I left an hour early to go get some poke too...
Pretty solid teamwork though. Girlfriend works alongside to get pours so it takes no time to tick an entire booth lol.

Had my two other invitees helping get pours for a while as well but they tapped out about 40 pours in haha.

 

So, I'm surprised they've never done an eisbock treatment of BT.

I'd buy lots of those.

 

I imagine they have never done it because that would be the end of like half their beer club.

 

Interesting. How are you normally brewing yours? I got the bag of Mexico El Jaguar beans aged in barrels that had BT in it. Hard to do a huge comparison without having tried some of the same beans that weren't aged but, I'm curious if it's less present because of the BT aging in there first rather than aging after racking the whiskey?

I don't think this bag is too overwhelming where there's a need to blend it with something else. Still makes great coffee just, not the out of body experience I was half expecting.

 

Wow, this is huge if if tastes good

 

I wonder if we'll get advance notice for the Archiversary sale, or if it will just drop out of the blue...

 

Is there definitely going to be one?

 

I mean, I'd be surprised if there wasn't. Each year is a bit different, but they always do one.

They did one for Terreux, so would also seen strange to skip on Bruery.

 

Looks like it'll be May 16

 

Sweet! Great catch. Thanks!

 

It was probably earlier in this thread, but I feel like I saw somewhere recently that they're trying to lean less heavily on BT because it's not as accessible as "lower" ABV offerings... like a "sessionble" beer like SHIT for example

But seriously, they clearly want to grow and expand market, and it makes sense that BT isn't going to lead that charge (it can remain a nice little perk for members). My guess is that they wanted to give Anniversary Party folks a first look at the types of beers they think might garner broad interest in newer markets.

 

If i remember correctly, we aren't even getting BT as part of our RS included beers either, right?

 

Amped up Chocolate Rain and Cherry Chocolate Rain should count as BT variants. We haven't gotten regular BT as included bottle in a few years.

 

Hopefully something better than Double Chocolate, and WCwC!

 

We got a bottle of regular BT last year.

 

Same here! Definitely one that I've been anticipating this year.

 

Yup RS only option did. I don't think the terreux/ bruery option did though

 

Just got this email “Geburtstagskranz? Our new Imperial Stout on sale now! ”

Anyone else stoked to try their NEW imperial stout? Lol

/s

 

I think it's new to public/distribution... But yeah I hear ya

 

We got them. What you were supposed to do was drive past the street you turn right on to the Phoenix Club main (and only) entrance. A about a hundred yards later, there were a couple of girls standing with the patches and a small sign. Where they were positioned was a gate (which is never open- I know, my wife and I walk that river trail) where you could get the patch and walk down the stairs to the festival entrance. I mean, we got it wrong too. I just pursued it further because I didn't need to take a ride share there.

We managed to not get drunk so we walked home (about 20 minutes), right through the driving range lot into the Coves trail and out at the halfway point. Felt pretty good after the fest. With the great weather, this was probably or most enjoyable Anniversary party ever.

 

Ok... So who is good at wax identification and can name the six variants coming in that Sucre Super Set?

 

Rum Sucre is really good, had it on tap Saturday, also like 2 years ago but that was my last bottle...

 

Maroon: Sucré (Tawny Port)
Purple: Sucré (Madeira)
Teal: Sucré (Tequila)
Dark Brown: Sucré (New American Oak)
Tan: Sucré (Bourbon)
Brown: Sucré (Rum Barrel Aged)

From what I can tell

 

They have all aged spectacularly. Tempted to get the set just for the ports and rum.

 

Yeah, I'm curious to see where the price point lands - if they're priced to move (average of original $30 retail per) or if there's a premium.

I'm 'meh' on the American Oak, but I haven't tried the Port one, so maybe that's a wash

 

So how does this set purchasing take place is it in person only or online? I didn't see a link to order the Sucré set

 

Sale starts on Thursday so you should see it on your online account then.

 

That Sucre set looks really cool, and I'd be inclined to get it if its priced at all favorably, buuuuuuuuuuuuuuut... I think my stupid fucking awesome stupid backpack cooler is all I'm going to be spending on Bruery stuff this month...

 

Did they at least let you use your society discount? I heard Yeti was giving out reacharound coupons for their purchases, wonder if they would've honored that?

 

I'm curious about what they just posted on Instagram...

Edit: looks like the same colors as A Stein's Throw, which would be a unique choice.

 

i was thinking grey monday vintage...
